Su Maoyan's first day in country y went very smoothly because the patients were very cooperative.
Zhang Lei, a melon-eater who watched the whole process, said that he was worried about Dr. Su just now. He was really too young.
Su Maoyan asked him while packing his things: "How many patients will there be tomorrow?"
Zhang Lei came to his senses and said: "There will be eight patients tomorrow."
Su Maoyan nodded, that is, in two days all the patients will be able to determine the recovery plan, and then there will be follow-up visits.
When leaving the ward, Su Maoyan found that there were patients waiting for him.
He remembered that this was the second man to come in today.
"Hello, Dr. Su." The man stepped forward quickly.
Su Maoyan stopped and said, "What can I do for you?"
The man was a little embarrassed and said: "I just want to ask Dr. Su, apart from patients like us participating in the project, can you accept other patients?"
Su Maoyan did not agree, but asked: "What kind of patient is it specifically?"
The man said: "There is also a heart problem, but the hospital didn't find out what the problem was, but she also had symptoms such as asthma and chest tightness."
The reason why the man made this request was because he was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. Su Maoyan was not the first doctor he had asked, but if he had not received good treatment from Su Maoyan today, he would not have stayed here and waited for so long.
Su Maoyan said thoughtfully: "Let's do this. Bring her over during your follow-up visit and I'll help her take a look."
The man said happily: "Thank you, Doctor Su."
After the man left, Zhang Lei asked: "Dr. Su, is this person he is talking about generally in a sub-healthy state?"
Su Maoyan shook his head and said: "I don't know, but if the cause of the asthma and chest tightness cannot be found, it means that there must be no organic disease in the heart. It may be a neurological problem or other problems."
The human body is quite complex. Even though this is Meili Clinic, if the test results are all correct, there is nothing the doctor can do.
And as far as current medical technology is concerned, just because the problem cannot be detected does not mean that there is no problem.
After Su Maoyan returned to the hotel, the big man from yesterday came immediately. His name was Johnny, and he was John's cousin.
"Dr. Su, you are back!" Johnny said happily.
Su Maoyan saw this and said, "Come up with me and I'll help you take a look."
After johnny sat down, he began to talk about his own situation. He actually had two marriages. The first marriage lasted for three years, but because they had no children, the two broke up peacefully. Who knew that the child was born as soon as his ex-wife remarried, and now The child is four years old, and he entered his second marriage three years ago, but this marriage is currently in jeopardy because his wife really wants a child.
"Have you and your current lover gone for a checkup?" Su Maoyan asked.
Johnny nodded. There was nothing wrong with his wife, but he was diagnosed with oligozoospermia.
Oligospermia, as the name suggests, means that the number of sperm in the semen is significantly less than the number that a normal man should have.
"The doctor said that I have idiopathic oligozoospermia. The cause cannot be found at present, so although I have received treatment for a long time, the sperm count still cannot increase," Johnny said.
For a man, being infertile is indeed a very devastating thing.
Of course, psychological blows can also cause physical blows. In addition to being unable to get their wives pregnant, many patients with oligozoospermia also face a situation where their married life cannot be harmonious.
Otherwise Johnny wouldn't be in such pain.
Su Maoyan said: "Let's do this, I will help you diagnose your pulse."
Male infertility is actually no simpler than female infertility. Because most clinical patients cannot find the cause, many doctors tend to believe that this problem is caused by a variety of diseases or factors, not just one. Something went wrong somewhere.
For example, some men are infertile because their sperm quality is not high, but why is their sperm quality not high? What exactly caused it? Some causes can be found, while others cannot. For these specific infertility cases for which no cause can be found, there is currently no standardized or effective treatment.
Therefore, in this case, many people come to seek help from traditional Chinese medicine. Let’s not talk about the success rate of treatment, but this is also a treatment idea and method. Just like Johnny, it is actually a dead horse treated as a live horse doctor.
johnny stretched out his hand.
Su Maoyan carefully diagnosed his pulse. Judging from the pulse condition, it was a deep pulse. He asked Johnny to stick out his tongue. The tongue was very red, but the tongue coating was thin and white.
He asked Johnny: "Do you usually have waist and abdominal pain?"
Johnny nodded when he heard this and said: "A little bit, but it's not very obvious. It hurts occasionally. Is this related to oligozoospermia?"
Su Maoyan said: "The human body affects the whole body. Every symptom or disease may be related. You will suffer from oligozoospermia, which is related to kidney deficiency. Your waist and abdominal pain are also related to kidney deficiency." Relationship, in addition, the fatigue, tinnitus, dizziness, etc. that you occasionally experience are also related to kidney deficiency."
Traditional Chinese medicine does not judge a person's symptoms in isolation. Treating the head for headaches and the feet for foot pain is not the practice of traditional Chinese medicine. Looking at problems dialectically, comprehensively and systematically is the essence of traditional Chinese medicine.
Although johnny has never been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine, he agreed with Su Maoyan's views after listening to his words. But how to treat kidney deficiency, and what does kidney deficiency mean? He had his kidney function checked and there was nothing wrong with him.
Su Maoyan said: "Kidney deficiency is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine. It does not mean that your kidneys have actual substantial lesions, but it means that the function of your kidneys is not as good as healthy kidneys."
Johnny still doesn't understand. If the function is not good, why can't he detect it during the examination?
Su Maoyan laughed and said: "This is a problem of traditional Chinese medicine research."
Just because a fault cannot be detected by the instrument does not mean that there is no such fault.
Johnny finally gave up and continued to delve into the problem: "What should we do?"
Su Maoyan thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll apply the ointment to you."
"What is ointment?" Johnny found that he couldn't understand it more and more.
Su Maoyan explained: "It is to boil various Chinese medicines and finally make them into a paste. After making it, you only need to take it on time every day."
Johnny was surprised: "Is this still possible?"
Su Maoyan nodded, using ointment to treat diseases is also a feature of traditional Chinese medicine. For some diseases, using ointment is more convenient than medicine, and the effect is not bad.
After all, after a day of consultation, Su Maoyan also discovered that it is quite difficult for foreigners to prepare medicine.
Johnny is still a bit confused. The key is that he can't fully understand what Su Maoyan said, and he doesn't even understand the principle, so he always feels a bit mysterious.
Su Maoyan simply filled out the prescription and said, "Let's do this. You can come and get it after I've made the kidney-strengthening ointment."
"But in your case, the prescription will definitely need to be adjusted. So after taking this, if you still want to be treated at my place, I'm afraid you will have to come to me for treatment."
Johnny understands this. It's normal to take different medicines at different times, but he still feels it's a bit too much trouble to go abroad for medical treatment.
Su Maoyan is not worried. If it has curative effect, he believes that Johnny will not be stingy about traveling like this. Besides, he will probably come to Country Y again.
In a few days, Johnny got the Kidney-Strengthening Ointment that Su Maoyan made for him. It didn't smell bad, but it looked strange. He had never seen this kind of "medicine" before.
After Su Maoyan told him how to take it, he took the medicine home.
His wife couldn't help but want to throw this thing away when she saw it. It looked so weird.
Johnny protected the thing in his hand and said, "Don't throw it away in a hurry. Let me eat it for a while."
Johnny's medicine has been taken care of, and the previous male patient also came with his wife.
Su Maoyan never thought that he could develop patients here after traveling abroad.
"Dr. Su, this is my wife. She often feels that she has a heart problem, but she has done all the tests and nothing is wrong. Can you give her something and check her pulse?"
Yesterday, Su Maoyan checked his pulse and found out a lot of problems, and they were all correct, so he thought that his wife's problems might also be cured by Su Maoyan.
Su Maoyan first asked the person to sit down, and then asked the female patient carefully about her specific situation.
"I had this problem two years ago, which is chest tightness, shortness of breath, and occasional chest pain. I can't exert myself or do heavy work. But I've had a checkup and the doctor said there's nothing wrong with me."
Su Maoyan asked some more questions before asking the patient to stretch out his hand.
This woman is a bit fat and has a lot of flesh on her wrists. Although she is fat, she looks puffy at first glance. Su Maoyan asked her while diagnosing her pulse: "Usually when you encounter cloudy and rainy days, is the situation more serious? "
The woman was stunned, she didn't notice this, but when Su Maoyan mentioned it, it seemed that it was indeed rainy days when she was not feeling well.
She nodded and heard Su Maoyan ask again: "You usually have a lot of phlegm, right?"
The woman nodded again.
The man marveled at it. Although he had seen how Su Maoyan treated people once, he still felt it was amazing when he saw it again.
Just by checking the pulse and asking questions, Su Maoyan was able to roughly judge the patient's symptoms, even better than the patient himself. Isn't this amazing?
After a while, Su Maoyan withdrew his hand and said to the woman: "According to my judgment, your condition should be chest paralysis."
"Chest paralysis?" is another new term, and foreign comrades said they couldn't understand it at all.
Su Maoyan explained: "This is a concept in traditional Chinese medicine. You can understand it as the heart channel is blocked."
The man was a patient with coronary heart disease and immediately said: "Isn't that coronary heart disease?"
Coronary heart disease is when blood vessels are blocked.
Su Maoyan shook his head and said: "It's not a concept. It should be said that chest pain includes coronary heart disease, but it is not just coronary heart disease."
This is complicated to say. Su Maoyan explained: "Your wife's condition should be chest paralysis caused by phlegm obstruction. Simply put, it is caused by improper diet, frequent overeating, big fish and meat." , over time, it will damage the spleen and stomach. After the transportation and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach are imbalanced, it may lead to phlegm and dampness. The phlegm and dampness invades the heart and chest from bottom to top, so there is a problem with the Qi mechanism, so you will have chest tightness, fatigue, phlegm and diarrhea."
As soon as he explained this, the man couldn't help but said: "Is it because he ate too much?"
Su Maoyan nodded and said: "Your wife's previous eating habit should have been to eat heavy and fat foods. With this kind of eating habit, if you don't like to exercise, the function of the spleen and stomach will cause problems over time."
In fact, you can probably tell two or three clues by looking at their body shape. The eating habits of the couple in front of them should be similar, because both of them are very fat.
The woman blushed a little when she heard this: "What should we do?"
Su Maoyan said: "Your current situation is not serious, so there is no need to feel any psychological burden."
If it is really serious, the examination will detect substantial lesions, just like in men, but if women do not receive treatment, the subsequent condition may also worsen.
"I'll prescribe you some medicine first. You need to boil this medicine and take it every day. Take it for four days first, and come back to me after four days."
Su Maoyan will leave in four days, and he can help her adjust the prescription before leaving: "We will have other experts come over later. They are all very accomplished Chinese medicine experts in the field of heart. I will tell them when the time comes. You can see them every week to adjust the prescription."
This is also thanks to John getting a large amount of Chinese medicine, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to treat people.
The woman nodded, took the prescription, and couldn't help but ask: "How long will it take for this medicine to be effective?"
Su Maoyan said: "If it's symptomatic, you'll feel it after taking it for a few days."
The woman felt a little better after hearing this, and she thanked Su Maoyan before leaving.
As soon as the woman left, John came in: "I didn't expect that someone would come to you for medical treatment when you came here to do a research project."
Su Maoyan said: "I also want to thank you for being willing to let them register for medicine."
John waved his hand and said: "I also know about the patient's condition. We have checked her here many times. It is true that there is no substantial heart problem, but she is indeed often uncomfortable. We can only let her eat and drink. It’s light and moderate exercise, but it doesn’t seem to have much effect.”
Su Maoyan said: "I'm already sick, so I have to take medicine. Just changing my living habits won't do it."
Of course, changing living habits is the foundation. When the body has entered an unhealthy situation, external force is still needed to make changes.
After the two chatted for a while, John said, "Are you done with today's work? Shall I take you somewhere?"
Su Maoyan nodded. In fact, the work after coming here was not difficult, because they had determined a relatively mature rehabilitation treatment plan in the past few months, so the progress was quite fast.
The day's work is already over at just after five in the afternoon.
"Where are you taking me?" Su Maoyan asked.
John said: "I'll take you for a walk. Aren't you going back in a few days? I'll take you to buy something."
Su Maoyan looked at John suspiciously, and John raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I want to take you to see one of your colleagues."
Although John can speak Chinese, the word "colleague" is obviously wrong because he took Su Maoyan to see a local Chinese medicine practitioner in Chinatown.
"In fact, I have known him for a long time. The reason why I want to engage in a project of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine has something to do with him. This traditional Chinese medicine doctor is quite old. I have never seen a doctor from him, but many people nearby have I grew up taking his medicine."
This was the first time Su Maoyan came to Chinatown, and when he saw the Chinese around him, he felt extremely friendly.
Their destination is at the end of Chinatown, a small shop, but it has the most people. Most of them are Chinese people queuing up, and occasionally one or two foreigners can be seen.
"Let's go have a meal first. They should close the stall when we get back."
Sure enough, around seven o'clock, only the staff were left in the pharmacy.
John took Su Maoyan in. An old man with white hair and beard was sitting inside, slowly sorting out the pulse records of today's patients.
John said: "Mr. Zhao, I have invited people here for you."
The old man named Zhao slowly raised his head, picked up his reading glasses and put them on, and smiled after seeing Su Maoyan's face clearly.
"Is it Dr. Su?" he asked.
Su Maoyan immediately walked over and said, "Yes."
Mr. Zhao was very happy: "I asked you to come here today, I have caused you trouble."
He and Su Maoyan exchanged pleasantries before telling him why he was invited here: "I have been coming to country Y for many years. Later, when I arrived in Chinatown, I found that there was not even a place for people to see doctors, so I simply settled down. Opened a shop."
For decades after this, people around him came to see him if they had a headache or fever. After all, traditional Chinese medicine is deeply embedded in the bones of the Chinese people.
For example, foreigners have no problem drinking ice every day, but most Chinese people can't. They often get stomachaches after drinking too much. In addition, going to the hospital is expensive, so his traditional Chinese medicine shop has been open until now.
"The reason I invited you here today is because I heard from John that you are a member of the National Association. I wanted to join the National Association back then, but I didn't have time. Later I moved abroad and immigrated, so I couldn't join the National Association."
He sighed, stood up slowly with a cane, and went to the bookcase at the back to carefully take out a few books.
"I am almost 90 this year, and my health is no longer good. I asked you to come here because I want you to help me take these books back and give them to the National Association. It can also satisfy my homesickness for so many years."
"I actually want to send it, but I'm afraid it will be damaged. No one in my family is in China anymore, and I can't ask anyone to deliver it. I can only trouble you."
Su Maoyan took the thread-bound books and found that everything inside was handwritten with a brush. The handwriting was very neat, and there were no corrections. They must have been transcribed very carefully. The contents were all based on his experience in medical treatment over the years. Corresponding cases.
"This..." This is too precious.
Mr. Zhao waved his hands and said: "No one in my family has learned this, and there is no use in staying. After I leave, this shop will probably close, so it is a waste to keep these books here with me. Why don't you take them back, if you can give them to others A little reference from a Chinese medicine practitioner will make all my hard work in studying medicine worthwhile."
He originally tried to recruit apprentices, but most of them gave up halfway, feeling that there was no future in studying Chinese medicine. In addition, Chinese medicine was also hard work, so for so many years, he could not find a qualified apprentice.
Everyone around him knew that his shop was about to close, and they were reluctant to let it go, but he had no choice but to find a half-baked Chinese medicine practitioner to treat the neighbors.
Su Maoyan held the few books and felt they weighed a thousand pounds. At least before coming here, he had never imagined that there was a Chinese medicine doctor who was almost ninety years old here, and he wanted to send his many years of experience back to his country.
Mr. Zhao had been treating people for a day, and after talking so much, he was indeed a little tired. At this time, a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to him walked in. He frowned and said, "Grandpa, , why did you close the shop so late today?"
He looked at Su Maoyan and the others again, thinking they were patients: "We won't be seeing patients today. Please be early tomorrow."
Mr. Zhao quickly introduced both parties.
The middle-aged man still frowned: "Grandpa, is this Dr. Su so young, really a member of the National Association?"
He still remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather would tell him about how he almost joined the National Association, so he also had the impression that it was not easy to get into the National Association. Su Maoyan looked like he was in his early twenties, and there was no way he could be a member of the National Association.
John said: "He is indeed a member of the National Association."
The middle-aged man is still quite confused. After all, Chinese medicine is so difficult to learn. He studied it for a while when he was a child, but then gave up. He couldn't understand the properties and pharmacology of medicines and dialectical treatment of diseases at all.
Su Maoyan sighed upon seeing this. It is not without reason that the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is difficult. On the one hand, it is because it is difficult to learn Chinese medicine, and on the other hand, there are fewer and fewer people willing to learn traditional Chinese medicine.
At this moment, Orange Cat suddenly issued a task to Su Maoyan.
After he left the drug store, he took out his cell phone and looked at it.
Orange Cat said: "You have triggered one of the biggest tasks in this system!"
Su Maoyan was in a heavy mood at the moment. He was touched that Mr. Zhao had adhered to his original intention as a Chinese medicine practitioner for so many years, but he regretted that such a Chinese medicine practitioner could not find anyone to pass on his knowledge and ideas, so for what Orange Cat said The biggest task is not too curious.
"What's the mission?" Seeing the orange cat flicking its tail and looking at him eagerly, Su Maoyan still asked the question the orange cat wanted to hear.
Orange Cat said excitedly: "It is the task of promoting traditional Chinese medicine and promoting the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine!"
It originally thought that Su Maoyan would trigger this task many years later, but it did not expect that the system would issue this task so quickly.
I guess I also met the old Chinese medicine doctor just now, so Su Maoyan was touched, right?
"Promote traditional Chinese medicine and promote the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine?" Su Maoyan murmured. No wonder Orange Cat said this task was one of the biggest tasks in the system.
Orange Cat said: "If it weren't for the efforts of King Yao, traditional Chinese medicine would not have been passed down to this day. The biggest purpose of King Yao's system is to treat people, but the power of one person is definitely not enough. You need the help of many, many people. It takes strength.”
Becoming a world-famous doctor is certainly a great achievement, but being able to promote Chinese medicine to the world and make more people understand Chinese medicine, like Chinese medicine, and be willing to learn Chinese medicine is an even greater achievement.
"This is a lifelong mission with no time limit. It may take you a lifetime to achieve it, but it doesn't matter, I will be with you."
The orange cat waved his paw: "Come on, young man!"
Looking at the book in his hand and the tasks on his phone, Su Maoyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
It seems that the road is really long and long.
He was a little proud of his achievements before, but now it seems that it is not worth being proud of at all, because he still has too many things to do.
After returning from country y, Su Maoyan arrived in the capital first and handed the book in his hand to the staff of the National Association before returning home.
The staff of the National Association were also very touched after hearing what he said about the old Chinese medicine doctor named Zhao.
Even the president called Su Maoyan and asked about Mr. Zhao's situation.
The president sighed: "The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is indeed difficult, but there are still many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners working hard. As long as you think of this, it seems that the road ahead will not be so difficult."
Yes, as long as you think of this, the road ahead will not be difficult.
So everyone discovered that after returning from country y, Su Maoyan had new changes.
Su Jiu whispered to Wang Zihua: "Did the second child put pressure on Mao Yan? Why do I feel like he was injected with chicken blood again?"
Su Maoyan used to work hard, but now he seems to be working harder.
So on the stove at home, the one on the left is for Wang Zihua's health, and the one on the right is for Su Maoyan's health.
In fact, Su Maoyan didn't do anything. He just planned to start writing a book.
That's right, it's to sort out the knowledge in the fragments, combine it with his own experience and medical cases, and share what he thinks is valuable with other Chinese medicine practitioners.
However, writing a book is not as simple as writing a thesis. A book is estimated to take several years. It must not only have clear arguments but also sufficient arguments. Otherwise, if a book is published, everyone will only think that it is No one will agree with his theory even if he is sensationalizing.
So what Su Maoyan is currently doing is just preparation work, that is, sorting out the results of his work over the past eight months.
And amidst all this busyness, the New Year has finally arrived.
Su Maoyan also ushered in the long-awaited Spring Festival holiday. Under the strong call of Su Jiu, Wang Zihua and Qin Yu, Su Maoyan himself extended his holiday and planned to rest until after the Lantern Festival before opening.
"You also have to pay attention to your body, otherwise you will suffer if your body is dry."
Su Jiu finally convinced Su Maoyan. He thought about it. After all, he planned to work hard until he was a hundred years old, and he really had to pay attention to the balance between work and rest.
As soon as Su Maoyan rested, the little animals at home became happy. Even the mountain king experienced the joy of having someone to accompany him every day.
On the night of New Year's Eve, their home was as lively as ever. Su Maoyan had just taken a sip of soup when he received a call from Qin Yu.
He walked to the balcony and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Happy New Year!"
The people over there were also chuckling: "Happy New Year."
With a bang, the fireworks went off, and the colorful splendors soared into the sky.
"In the new year, I hope Mr. Su will continue to work hard." Qin Yu said.
Su Maoyan smiled: "Mr. Qin, come on too."
Amidst the sound of fireworks, both of them laughed.
